Zoya - Dream

Wow. Zoya... spot on naming this. This is my second time wearing this and I hate that it took me so long to wear it again! This is definitely going to be in my "I don't know what to wear" pile. There's just so much depth to it, it's gorgeous! Shown below is two coats with HK Girl top coat, but looking at this under bright light I could've gone for a third. But the VNL isn't as noticeable in person. Mmmmm mm!!!

Need more. In every color. There's also this extra photo set on my Instagram and this oldie :)

Zoya - Liberty

Hey all! Another untried for you to see today, along with my friend Ashley at Capital Polish! Does anyone else just keep buying polish... knowing you already have a ton of untrieds at home? Yeah. That's me. So slowly getting through them.

This is another fabulous pixie dust by Zoya, and her name is Liberty! If you can believe this... this has been untouched (by myself, I used it on a friend once) since about... last summer? I can't believe I left this beauty neglected so long!

Below you see two flawless coats, no top coat! The sparkle is insane, just the way I like my texture polish. I heard this is a stainer, I have yet to remove it though! Hopefully my two coats of base will aid in that.

BOTH hands? Whatttt? Please excuse any imperfections you see with my not so photo ready hand (right) Cindy is also a little awkward at posing but I think I did well! Plus this is after two and a half days of wear. I love how well it is holding up. Anywho, my left hand is topcoated and my right is not, except for my pinky. It's GORGEOUS with or without, and the left photo is only two coats of top coat! Not too shabby if you ask me.

For shiggles, WHY on earth did this photograph so bright? This is unedited. Cameras are crazy. Liberty is a little bit darker than the photo above and the one below. 

If you have read this far, THANKS. I'm a little hyper right now. Happy Wednesday!

Zoya - Tomoko

Today I have a swatch for you on my sad little nubs! The gorgeous Zoya Tomoko. I swear the textures by Zoya are my top favorite. I prefer them over all other brands because I like my texture a little bit more fine, like these!

This beauty was actually sitting in my untrieds, shamefully. I have decided to storm February with my all my untried polishes with my good friend Ashley at Capital Polish. Our goal is 2-3 new polishes a week! Yeah... I seriously have that many. What problem?

It is seriously a million times more sparkly than this swatch does justice to! I have a sparkle video on my Instagram, here. Whenever my nails are short I always gravitate towards sparkle, what do you do when you are mourning your loss of length? Ha!

Lilac Roses

Happy Sunday! I've got another stamping manicure today. I'm getting deeper into my stamping addiction... it's just too fun! And I've been uninspired for freehand or tape, coming up with stamping combos is easier.

Zoya - Stevie (lilac texture)

OPI - My Boyfriend Scales walls (base color for stamping, best white EVER)

China Glaze - Tart-y for the Party (stamping color)

Roses: BM 323 right hurrr

Cuticles (eponychium?) lookin' right and tight so of course a macro is necessary. 

 Purple is my favorite color, especially for nail wear. And Stevie does not disappoint! One of my favorite textures ever. And I was glad Tart-y for the Part-y stamped so well! Win win. This got a lot of compliments at work. What do you think?

ZOYA Stevie

Ahhhh, one of my picks from Zoya's ever growing texture polishes (dubbed Pixie Dust) was Stevie. I've never been let down with a purple polish and this surely is no exception to that high standard! And something about this lighter shade of purple really goes well with my skin tone.

Swatches below are two super easy coats. I find it is easier to apply thin coats as opposed to thick. It dries faster and you get a more even textured look. :)

 You catchin the silver sparkle in it?! I'm so in love! I actually think I like Zoya's texture polishes better than O.P.I.. sssshh! I cannot wait to get more. Their fall line up is lookin reaaaaaaaal nice too. I see an empty wallet in my future.

I think this polish would look flattering on anyone!

Do you like texture polishes? What brand do you think is the best?
